hi my girlfriend and I are travelling to Andalucia, Morocco and Portugal. we fly to Seville on Sept 16, then on Oct 11 we fly from Lisbon to Paris for 3 days, then home from there. we're both well travelled but this we be our first big trip with our (then) 11 month old baby. we plan on doing a +-5 day tour in Morocco when we first get to Seville, then rent a car in Seville to travel through Andalucia and up the Portuguese coast to Lisbon. we dont usually do guided tours, but think that would be the easiest way to see some of Morocco with a baby. can anyone recommend a good, kid friendly tour company for Morocco, leaving from Seville, or Tarifa, or from the Moroccan side, etc? Also, any tips on travelling light with a baby?
Thanks!

Bring a super light stroller with big wheels (cobbled stones everywhere...) and a good baby carrier. Idk if you need a car in Seville... we were just there with my 20 month old and we walked pretty much everywhere... uber is cheap in Lisbon but they will not take you if you don't have a carseat.
Hope this helps!

Travelling to Andalucia, Morocco, and Portugal with a Baby

Travelling with a baby can be a daunting task, but with proper planning and preparation, it can be an incredibly rewarding experience. Your upcoming trip to Andalucia, Morocco, and Portugal with your 11-month-old baby sounds exciting and adventurous.

Recommended Tour Company for Morocco

When it comes to exploring Morocco with a baby, a guided tour can be a convenient and stress-free option. One reputable tour company that offers kid-friendly tours from Seville is Explore Morocco. They have a variety of tour packages that cater to families with young children, providing comfortable transportation, knowledgeable guides, and accommodations suitable for families.

Another option is to consider joining a tour from the Moroccan side. Companies like Morocco Desert Gate and Experience Morocco offer family-friendly tours from cities like Tangier or Casablanca, which may be more convenient depending on your itinerary.

Tips for Travelling Light with a Baby

Travelling light with a baby can be challenging, but it's not impossible. Here are some tips to help you pack smart and travel comfortably:

  • Pack minimally: Stick to the essentials and avoid overpacking. Babies need fewer clothes than you might think, as they tend to go through them quickly.
  • Invest in a lightweight stroller: A compact, lightweight stroller can be a lifesaver when navigating busy streets, airports, and attractions.
  • Bring a baby carrier: A comfortable baby carrier allows you to keep your hands free while keeping your baby close and secure.
  • Pack snacks and essentials in a backpack: A well-organized backpack can carry everything you need for a day out, like diapers, wipes, snacks, and a change of clothes.
  • Consider using a travel crib: Many hotels and accommodations offer travel cribs or pack-and-plays, saving you from carrying a bulky crib.
  • Dress in layers: Layers make it easier to adjust to varying temperatures and keep your baby comfortable.

Remember, travelling with a baby requires patience and flexibility. Embrace the adventure, and don't be afraid to ask for help or take breaks when needed. Enjoy your trip and make wonderful memories together!
